I think the only answers to the question posed by Rev. Larry is that you can build it cheaper or of a better design.blrman07 wrote:Why build it yourself when there are so many out there to choose from?
Buying used I don't think you can build it cheaper, so that leaves only a better design, and that depends heavily on your experience and understanding of what makes a good stove.
